Chapter 2474 Laying Their Cards On The Table
Subsequently, the armored beast brought Jared back.
By then, xseed and Hammerhead had almost recovered.
Jared took out the refined ore essences and fed them to the other few armored beasts. They ate their
fill, all very much grateful to him.
“Master Hammerhead, I''m afraid I won''t be able to go to Fire Incineration Sect to rescue your sect
leader with my current capabilities. Regardless, please rest assured that I''ll figure out a way to do so
after settling everything in the mundane world,” Jared vowed.
Hammerhead gave a bob of his head.
“I trust you. Even if you can''t rescue our sect leader, I should still thank you. Right now, I''ve got a
smithing fragment. These few armored beasts are still alive as well. Therefore, I can slowly restore
Divine Smithing Sect. In less than ten years, we''ll definitely be able to attain glory once again. At that
time, I''ll make you a divine weapon,” he gushed gratefully.
He was eternally thankful that the young man did not covet the smithing fragment. If anyone else had
gotten their hands on it, they would have undoubtedly kept it for themselves.
After bidding the few armored beasts farewell, Jared and the others went back to Divine Smithing Sect.
“Can you still open the portal between Ethereal Realm and the mundane world?” Hammerhead asked.
“I''ll try. I don''t have that much confidence about it now either.”
Jared had expended considerable spiritual energy in smithing and refining the spirit ores. Hence, he
was uncertain whether he could open the portal to the mundane world and nned to try it.
“I think you should stay here and only return when your capabilities have elevated, Jared. When that
happens, it''ll be far easier for you to open the portal. Furthermore, you''ve got a gold apatite. It can only
unleash its maximum energy if you absorb it in Ethereal Realm. If you take it to the mundane world, its
energy might be greatly reduced due to the suppression of thews of nature,” Hammerhead proposed.
Jared was startled for a moment. In slight embarrassment, he queried, “You... You know I''ve got a gold
apatite with me, Master Hammerhead?”
“Of course, I know. A gold apatite''s aura is unique, so I''ve long since sensed it. But it''s fine that the
armored beasts gifted you a gold apatite since you''ve done Divine Smithing Sect a great favor!”
Hammerhead replied with a chuckle.
“What is a gold apatite, Jared? Let me have a look at it!” xseed entreated in utter curiosity.
At that, Jared could only take the gold apatite out. Taking it from him, xseed studied it meticulously,
his eyes brimming with envy.
“In this case, I''ll absorb this gold apatite here before going back to the mundane world.”
Jared decided to absorb the energy from the gold apatite in Ethereal Realm and improve his cultivation
level before returning to the mundane world.
He found a quiet ce and started absorbing the energy within the gold apatite.
While he was doing so, xseed and the sword spirit, Zelda, acted as his guardians.
Meanwhile, Hammerhead left and began persuading the nearby residents to recruit disciples for Divine
Smithing Sect.
He alone was insufficient to rebuild the sect and restore it to its former glory. Thus, he needed to recruit
disciples for Divine Smithing Sect.
As Jared was cultivating in Ethereal Realm, the atmosphere in Evil Heart Sect''s secret realm seemed
somewhat strange.
Six purple-robed emissaries were gathered together. At that instant, they removed the masks from their
faces.
Although they had already surmised each other''s identities, they were still slightly shocked when the
masks came off.

After all, they were sect leaders in the Eight Major Secret Realms and were well acquainted with each
other.
It was just that none of them knew the others'' identity of being a fellow purple-robed emissary of the
Evil Heart Sect.
With the masks divested then, it was equivalent to themying their cards on the table.
